There are lots of great photo essays of that most modern of detritus: the suburban mall.
Here are some pics of a mall in the middle.
Not abandoned, but not thriving.
More than half empty, but full of current holiday decorations.
Damp mustiness but not utter emptiness.
Contains current candy.
This is the Charlestowne Mall in St. Charles, IL, near midnight, upon the opening of The Hunger Games.
